Description

It is used to support the bearing assembly of the armature spindle of gas-turbine unit
Technical field
This theme relates generally to gas-turbine unit, and more specifically, is related to being used to support gas turbine and start The bearing assembly of the armature spindle of machine.
Background technique
Gas-turbine unit generally includes rotor assembly, compressor and turbine.Rotor assembly includes fan, the fan With the fan blade array to extend radially outwardly from armature spindle.Power and rotary motion are transferred to compression from turbine by armature spindle Both machine and fan, and be longitudinally supported using multiple bearing assemblies.In addition, rotor assembly has rotation axis, the rotation Shaft axis passes through rotor c.g..Known bearing assembly includes rolling element and with counter race, wherein rolling element is supported on With in counter race (paired race).In order to maintain critical rotor speed nargin, rotor assembly is usually supported at three bearings On component, one of those is thrust bearing assembly, and two therein are roller bearing components.Thrust bearing assembly support turns Sub- axis, and minimize the axially and radially mobile of rotor shaft assembly.Remaining roller bearing component supports the radial direction of armature spindle It is mobile.
During the operation of engine, the segment of fan blade can be separated from the rest part of blade.Therefore, significant uneven The rotary load of weighing apparatus can be formed in the fan of damage, and must be substantially by fan shaft bearing, fan spindle bearing supporting element and wind Braced frame is fanned to carry.
In order to make may the influence of the abnormal unbalanced load of damage minimize, it is known that gas-turbine unit include using In the supporting member of fan propeller support system, they are set as providing additional intensity in terms of size.However, working as engine When operating in the case where not significant rotor unbalance, the intensity for improving supporting member undesirably increases the total of engine Weight, and reduce the gross efficiency of engine.
Other known engine includes bearing supports, which includes the section mechanically weakened or main guarantor Dangerous part (primary fuse) disconnects fan propeller from fan support system and couples.During such event, fan shaft is sought The rotation center looked for novelty, the new rotation center is close to its unbalanced center of gravity.The safety piece section and rotor clearance tolerance group It closes ground and is known as load reduction device or LRD.LRD reduces the rotation dynamic load in fan support system.
After the destruction of main safety piece, inclined fan propeller usually causes big torque to next nearest bearing.? In many constructions, it is known that next nearest bearing is second bearing position.To torque caused by second bearing to fan propeller office Cause to portion high bending and shear-loaded.In order to mitigate shearing force, usually weaken or reduce the radial direction of second bearing position Rigidity.However, in order to adapt to the axial load transmitted across engine, second bearing supporting element must also provide high axial rigid Degree.
Existing bearing assembly can be used for providing the radial rigidity of decrease, while provide axial rigidity sufficiently high.However, It is quantitative and when the thermal efficiency increases in the bypass of modern gas turbine engines, across the transmission of such engine resulting axial direction with Radial load accordingly increases.Therefore, existing bearing assembly must redesign, to adapt to the turbine loads of such increase.
Therefore it provides improved radial rigidity and/or axial rigidity are to help to adapt to the increasings of modern gas turbine engines The big bearing assembly radially and/or axially loaded will receive an acclaim in this technique.
